As the First World War unfolds, three friends in rural Sussex feel very different calls to duty; changing their lives forever.
John and his mum Mags run their farm with Joe and Harry’s help: these three men are the closest of friends, more like brothers. At the declaration of War, all their lives change: challenging their values and the bond between them.
What is duty? Is it a call to King and Country or to humanity: can it be both?
All the facts surrounding this play are real: it draws on several years of historical research in archives from national and international sources, plus oral histories from the families of people who lived through those times. A heartfelt, poignant exploration of the joys and trials of friendship and human bonds; as relevant now as they have ever been.

FRINGE REVIEW: EXCITING WORK: A fresh and urgent play, Duty should tour as a salutary reminder of how war impacts community, divides war-influenced majority from the few who see through war.
THEATRE IN BRIGHTON: That’s the power of Duty. It is respectful, moving, dramatic, heart-breaking and authentic in all that it shares. Do not miss it!

RUNNING TIME: 60 mins, no interval
AGE SUITABILITY: 8yrs+
